Intuition BU4050

After looking at the suggestions, I have decided to buy a Kenmore. However, I do not know which Kenmore to buy out of these: The one at Walmart suggested above is the following: Kenmore BU3040 Intuition Lite Bagged Upright Vacuum Lightweight Cleaner 2-Motor Power Suction with HEPA Filter, 3-in-1 Combination Tool, Handi-Mate for Carpet, Floor, Pet Hair, Red W/No Lift-up I found 2 Intutions on Amazon: Kenmore BU4050 Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum, liftup Cleaner with Hair Eliminator brushroll, pet Handi-Mate for Carpet, Hard Floor, Rose Gold Kenmore BU4022 Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum Lift-Up Carpet Cleaner 2-Motor Power Suction with HEPA Filter, 3-in-1 Combination Tool, HandiMate for Floor, Pet Hair, Green I also found 2 Cannister versions on Amazon with high ratings: Kenmore 600 Series Friendly Lightweight Bagged Canister Vacuum with Pet PowerMate, Pop-N-Go Brush, 2 Motors, HEPA Filter, Aluminum Telescoping Wand, Retractable Cord and 4 Cleaning Tools, Purple Kenmore 81214 200 Series Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaning Tools, Orange I don't really know the difference between these 5 options, which one would you suggest out of these for my purposes? Edit: I researched them a bit more and went with the rose gold one. I think its good enough for my purposes

Okay, Kenmore makes a pretty decent upright, the Intuition. Model # is BU4022 or the slightly more expensive version #BU4050. They're the same vacuum in a different package deal. It is a bagged vacuum which also has HEPA filtration, the best at cleaning the air. The power roller can be switched off. You might have to look around to see where they are available in your area, but I've seen them on sale for $220. The one down side is the vacuum is 11 inches wide vs your Bissell at 13 insches wide, so a slightly narrower cleaning path. On the plus side, it'll be a little quieter than the Bissell. Good luck!

Yep, and if not that then the Kenmore BU4050. A bagged upright with hepa filtration and good quality build for the money.

Good call, I was gonna say.  Check it out on Amazone, it goes on sale.  Many vacuums get worse with age, but not all.  Bagged vacuums fare better because their inner air chambers stay clean, unlike the bagless. The Kenmore has great suction and is bagged and heapa rated.  Better quality build than others in this price range.

The Kenmore intuition is a great option, I just picked one up for family.  Great suction, the rotating brush can be turned off, and it is a sealed hepa design. On sale I found it for 220.  It's a bagged version so no mussing with a dusty bin.  Only downside is it's 11 inches wide instead of 13 for large spaces, but should be fine in a basement suite.

1) The commonly recommended units in that price range are the BU4050 and Kenmore elite upright (great but bulky) 2) IMO yes it’s absolutely worth the premium. The Sebo is a commercial workhorse that you can use in your home. Plus it has a 10yr warranty if you purchase through a local dealer. I’d also look at the dart - some people here prefer it over the Felix.

Kenmore intuition BU4050 is a much better machine than this. You want something *bagged*.

If you can bump your budget - a Sebo dart would be fantastic. Otherwise. Kenmore 600 series or Kenmore intuition BU4050. You want something corded **and bagged**

Based on your needs and budget you absolutely want something **corded and bagged**. They clean better and last longer. Pick up a Kenmore Intuition BU4050 and be done with it. Bags are a small expense to have the vacuum actually work and last longer than 18 months.

Kenmore intuition BU4050. Bags are a ~$15-20 **per year** running cost.

Yes The hose is the Achilles heel. But it’s $15 on eBay and easily replaceable. Unfortunately, for the budget you won’t do better until you triple+ your budget.

Kenmore is your best bet. I’m not a fan of the 200 series (although it cleans well) it’s very compromised (short cord and hose). Look at the 400 series or 600 series if you can catch it on a sale. Or a Kenmore Intuition BU4050 if you like uprights.

Bagged is definitely the way to go. With that budget look at Kenmore. The intuition BU4050 specifically.

No. Grab a Kenmore Intuition BU4050

Kenmore intuition BU4050 or simplicity allergy for carpet then use the Miele on the hard floors.

Shark is disposable junk nowadays. Grab something corded and bagged. Kenmore intuition BU4050 is the best you’ll do for that budget.

Genuinely, none of these. They’re all junk. Kenmore intuition BU4050 for sure.

Pet attachment as you mentioned, and the 4050 comes with the “hair eliminator” brush roll. If you deal with long hair getting tangled it actually works quite well. (It doesn’t eliminate tangling) but definitely reduces it.

The 4050 or 600 series. The rest are missing too many features or compromised some other way. Which one of those comes down to budget and form factor preference.

Kenmore BU4050 or 600 series pop and go. Both are corded and bagged which is the gold standard.

For the price you really can’t do better. There are definitely better vacuums. But they cost 2-3x+ more.

Kenmore BU4050 then for sure. If you happen to find another $250 in your couch cushions get a Sebo dart.

That’s going to be a really tough price point. Cheapest I can think of is a Kenmore Intuition (bagged) not bagless

I wouldn’t seriously consider any shark. They’re junk. I prefer the Kenmore version of the intuition over the vacmaster. the lift away is nice for getting stairs and furniture. Worth the premium alone. And depending on which intuition model they all come with slightly different attachments. I’d say use it and see what you need to add for your use case. If you have pet fur on couches etc a turbo attachment might be nice to add.

Either of the Kenmore’s. The Miele is an excellent vacuum but lacks the electric powerhead you would need to clean carpets well. The only other considerations would be a Sebo dart/felix or K3/E3. But those are likely way over budget(?)

Kenmore bu40xx models get recommended a lot. Pick the variant that has the tools etc (color!) you need like 4050, 4022.

Kenmore Intuition BU4050 is the best for the price for sure

We own a cleaning business. We use Sebo E3 and D4. Currently also use a Kenmore Intuition BU4050 as an upright but will get a felix once we need another. Will never use a bagless Vacuum again, especially a Shark. They are junk and never last for the amount we use them. Bags are so much easier and cleaner, require very little maintenance besides changing a filter once or twice a year. Bags last a long time vs emptying a bin multiple times a day.

Kenmore Intuition BU4050. Bagged and works incredibly well for under $200

Agree. Intuition BU4050 is the one. Bagless is awful and Dyson and shark are worse...

Kenmore Intuition BU4050. Dont look back

Not the best color but for the price...hard to beat

Definitely Sebo if you can swing it. We've had a ton of luck and use out of our Kenmore Intuition BU4050 too

Gotta take reviews with a grain of salt tho. Majority of people only leave reviews when they dont like something...but dont typically leave a review if they do. At least thats how i see it. Our Intuition BU4050 has been great. Do i expect it to last as long as a Sebo? No. But for the price its hard to beat

We pair a Kenmore Intuition BU4050 with a Eureka Cordless Stylus NEC490SE and wife loves it. One for deeper cleans the other for everyday messes

Kenmore Intuition BU4050 and Eureka Stylus Elite NEC490SE. Under budget and all you ever need

Kenmore Intuition BU4050 is the way

Kenmore Intuition BU4050 is a good one

Try Kenmore Intuition BU4050

Get a kenmore Intuition BU4050 and a box of 8 bags and dont think about it for 2 years

Go with the kenmore Intuition BU4050. You wont be disappointed

Kenmore Intuition BU4050 should do the trick

Im sure it wont last forever and ever but for the price its hard to beat. And it does a great job. Plus bags make cleanup soooo easy

Intuition BU4050 is the way

Bagged is the way to go. Sebo or Miele then something like a kenmore BU4050 if you dont want to shell out the money for those

Yep this is the one

Obviously the felix and E3 are going to be the best bet... But maybe you can talk her into a Kenmore BU4050. Best bang for the back and has a bag. Does a tremendous job for the price

My wife runs a cleaning business and has a sebo e3 and d4...but she likes using the kenmore quite a bit and its the one we use at our house the most. Cheap, convenient, decently reliable, and does a great job cleaning

The felix or E3 would be my first choice with the Kenmore BU4050 coming in next especially for your budget. It will do what you need it to and is pretty reliable for the price

Kenmore BU4050 paired with the Eureka Stylus Elite NEC490SE

Kenmore BU4050. Best bagged Vacuum I have found that is good on carpet and hard floors and comes in well under that budget.

Sebo Dart/ felix definitely worth it. Kenmore BU4050 if you dont want to spend as much and still get bang for your buck

Buy it. You will love it. Bummer it only comes in one color option but it is what it is and very worth it

Always get a bagged my friend. This group has pinned posts as to why. Been using this since 3 years. Don't even have to clean up the brush roll.

Kenmore intuition BU4050. This sub doesn't always do excellent cost/benefit analysis. Let me give my humble 2 cents. I just went through this with the Sebo Felix vs Kenmore intuition BU4050. $800 vs $180. The Kenmore will not last as long. It does, however, have more features that I personally value (hair eliminator brush). Even if I don't consider the time value of money saved, I could have a new Kenmore, THREE new in box backup Kenmores for parts/maintenance/repairs, and enough money to take myself out for a really nice dinner. The Sebo is higher quality and built to last longer, but will it last FOUR TIMES longer? Will I care in 12+ years? The Sebo, while better, will still need maintenance along the way, adding to the cost with bags/filters/brush rolls/etc. The quadruple Kenmore setup comes with 24 bags and 3 complete sets of replacement parts. Obviously, I've only bought one and will invest my savings. I will buy replacement parts as I need to, but I'm very confident that I will not approach $800 for a very very very long time. I respect the BIFL mindset a lot, but it just doesn't make sense financially for me.
